Suppressing a meow of laughter, they padded over, looking down at him with thinly veiled amusement. “Need some help?” Frostkit hooked their claws in, before dragging the fish off of him.

Beetlekit:

The tom knew he was losing this fight so he flicked his tail quickly, indicating a 'yes please'

He blushed a bit embarrassed at the state he was in..

Spottedkit noticed Blizzardwind on the ground. "Wait here" she told Snakeheart and ran up to Blizzardwind. As she helped the tom up she asked "Are you ok?"

- Hazelstorm -

When she was made a warrior, she'd felt a mixture of pride, happiness and misery. Hazelstorm had stood there, sad that her parents hadn't been able to personally see this happen, but also happy that she had achieved warriorhood. If asked, she'd say that had been the best day of her life.

That's how she felt now. Certainly proud that her parents died to save and protect the clan, but that covered a bare minimum. Happiness was also a bare minimum, but she was glad Gorgespring didn't seem to think that she was weak. Mostly, she was sad, her soul an artwork of various shades of blue, drawn in little swirls, dots and straight-on lines.

"I..." Her voice caught and she looked away, unwilling to let anyone see her cry. She wasn't a kit anymore. Hazelstorm lifted her head, turning her gaze back to Gorgespring. It did sound cliche, but deep in her heart she knew it was true. "..Yes. Thank you, Gorgespring," she said softly. Hazelstorm sighed, her sadness spilling over, and buried her face in her paws, trying hard not to cry.

Some cats might not understand why she was still mourning the death of her parents, moons after. They'd say to move on. Hazelstorm tried, of course, butshe knew it would be a slow process. She was going to be the best warrior she could be. Hazelstorm let a single tear drop splash on the ground, seeping through her claws, and raised her head, blinking fiercely to keep more tears at bay.

Perhaps, she could change the topic. Hazelstorm glanced at Gorgespring, not knowing much about her. She did know her sister though, Canyoncall.

"So... what are your parents like?" asked Hazelstorm, deliberately changing the topic. She hoped Gorgespring wouldn't just walk away at this question. That would be crushingly depressing.

Snakehearts reactions once more came too slow as he reached out to the fleeing leader back legs collapsing as he sat hard unable to take his own weight. Nononononono Kestrelstar couldnt leave too he had to stay he had to stay. The medicine cat let out an low whine unaware he was even making the noise but was simply to slow to stop his brother from leaving. Running after him wouldnt help, Snakeheart was slow due to his lack of general exercise warriors usually got and his lack of any battle training meant a owl would make quick work of him. He was useless a liability if he went after Kestrelstar and if he was left the only high rank once more.... He couldnt he had his duties he had his responsibilities even if they hurt.



Mind a thousand miles away the medicine cat vacantly hissed at Spottedkit startled in his daze by the kit he didnt even seem coming. But soon his mind caught up and he could only feel uncomfortable with the kits attempts to help him. He'd been trying to let more cats in but look at what it had gotten him, one who was almost a brother to him dead! Nononononono NO! His clingy heart couldnt let go of those it gripped but he couldnt wouldnt let anyone else in and he hissed at Spottedkit again aggressive against her kindness. He couldnt take this, too many eyes too many cats when was Kestrelstar coming back because he had to come back!


The medicine cat fled into his den, ears pinned and mind tangling about how he could make the leader come back without deserting his responsibility.

Palebrook sat down and enjoyed the sunshine, even if it wasn’t particularly warm outside. But it was still better than the stuffy inside of the warriors’ den.

Spottedkit turned back to Snakeheart but he had fled to the Med. cat den. She quietly followed.
(Am I allowed to post in the Med. den for this?)

@Jay.
There was a beat of silence where Wormbite stared at Looncry in horror, his breath had been taken away from him leaving him slack-jawed. He took a breath, gathering his composure and turning into a stone statue. "Why are you here?" He blurted out, his face scrunching up before a part of him begged to point out that wasn't entirely a warm welcome.

The oriental sighs, "Where have you been?" He rephrases, tilting his head to the side. Wormbite had never spoken to Looncry. Maybe a passing phrase but before the raid there was no connection but now there was a long and thin line that connected them. Drenched in blood and strained but it was still there, no matter how thin. "... I did not know you were back, " He admitted quietly, he could still feel how the blood stuck to his fur.

And then, he speaks in a much smaller voice, his eyes directing to the ground, "..I thought you were dead." Whitewolf had wounded Looncry badly before they had intervened. Wormbite could have never gotten a proper gauge on it in the first place. Only that his mind had been blinded by rage and sorrow that day. When he didn't see the tom after a week - he never asked. He assumed. Their efforts had been wasted and the warrior had died from his wounds. Wormbite was grateful, really, that he wasn't but it only caused the question was it worth it? To be more heavy.
